Shiny Gold Pocket Decoder

[Theotokos]

I was one of the lucky ones to win a shiny gold pocket decoder a couple of years ago. I just wondering if anyone knows how many of those were made? I've tried contacting thecachingplace in the past but never got a response. Thanks for the help..

"LIMITED EDITION: We are making 25 "Golden" pocket decoders. These will be given away in monthly drawings at The Caching Place."

 

Found this over in the forum section of the Caching Place website

Thank you. Now to decide if I want to trade it or not.

Usually the creator of a coin designs an icon and pays money to get it implemented. This was not the case for the golden ones.

 

There are three different items you can find in the "All geocoins" list:

Antique Gold Pocket Decoder Geocoin -

Antique Silver Pocket Decoder Geocoin -

Shiny Gold Pocket Decoder Geocoin -

 

In fact, the shiny gold ones seem still to be on sale, as you can see here. Maybe after giving away 25 they made a couple hundred more later and requested a new icon entry. Perhaps those decoders are different than the 25 that were initially mentioned in the forums? I don't know. Looks like there are more than 25 shiny gold ones in total.
